About

I am a former academic and writing professor turned hobby farmer/homeschooling mom/publisher. I am also the co-founder of an independent publishing company based here in Maine, Blue Moose Publishing.

In 2015, after too many years of working too many hours, I decided to change my life. This blog shares my stories related to making the change and simplifying my life–a process that began when we finally got our first chickens.

In this blog, I will share my experiences learning how to hobby farm on a small place in Maine, become more self-sufficient, live frugally, live peacefully, and have more time for love.
